Bring in tougher legislation for hate crimes/speech on social media sites
Social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat need to have tougher consequences for hate crimes and speech. Deleting and blocking accounts is not enough. Punishment for online hate speech and crime needs to be stronger. Details for individuals need to be passed to the police.
Social media sites have to be responsible for the care of users.
They have to show full transparency when reporting and there should be zero tolerance for hate speech & crime and online bullying of any kind.
It’s not enough to just block or delete a page.
It should be harder to join and be monitored more thoroughly than it is at the moment.
